With the Intel iMac in the normal viewing position, what is the distance from the top of your desk or table to the bottom of the screen?

7 1/4" to the bottom of the screen, 3 1/4" to the bottom of the casing. Mine is the 20" version; not sure if that makes any difference. i don't think it should. Can I ask why you are curious?

Trying to decide if my bifocals would cause a problem since the screen is not up/down adjustable as my G4 iMac is. Might make a difference if I went with a Mini and the Apple 20" display.

Thanks for your time and the reply.

Thanks for the reply on the 17". Will be getting the 20" one but is nice to know. I did not say which I was interested in but appreciate both answers.

It appears (to me??) to set lower. I have no measurement on that as yet.

I too have bifocals, and haven't encountered any troubles. It also depends on how high your desk and chair are. Cheers to you, and enjoy your new machine!
